The families of American-Israeli hostages in Gaza demanded Sunday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accept a cease-fire deal with Hamas after the deaths of six more captives.

Dual US-Israeli citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin was among the hostages found dead in Rafah on Saturday, and Hamas is believed to still be holding four living Americans and three who have perished.

“The tragic murder of Hersh, just months after we all saw his face in a hostage video released by Hamas, is nothing short of vicious and senseless,” the families said in a joint statement.

I feel for these families but the emotions are running wild. They need to blame the Biden administration for this for not letting Bibi clean house in Gaza but walk on eggshells not to piss off the UN/ Anti-Israel people or whoever.

All too often, people blame everyone but the actual perpetrators.

There is a moral argument that governments should not negotiate with terrorists. You go to war with terrorists. In the future, terrorists are less likely to capture hostages if they know that they'll get nothing in return for the hostages.

So if you want to save lives in the long run, you do not negotiate with terrorists.

[eclectic]

There is no deal to accept.

So we demand that you surrender to the vicious and senseless Hamas! /s
How about instead, “Kill every Hamas member you find!”

[jerod]

HAMAS is to blame for all hostage deaths... Period!

These poor people have been manipulated by left leaning HAMAS supporters into thinking that Netanyahu is responsible for their loved ones predicament... He was not responsible, is not responsible and never will be responsible... His job is to get the hostages back, but HAMAS has rejected every ceasefire offering presented to them... They have killed most of the hostages, and the few remaining hostages have one chance... The IDF finding them before they are ultimately killed by HAMAS.

The IDF is zeroing in on hostage locations, but as soon as HAMAS figures out that the IDF is coming... They kill the hostages.

This. Makes you wonder if there is an agenda, doesn’t it.

[chief lee runamok]

Bibi should arm the irate families and allow them run amok in gaza.

[Salman]

Their relatives were killed, therefore Israel should hold still for the next attack?

If it were my relatives, I'd be screaming for revenge.

[mfish13]

To point out the obvious, they had a cease fire in place when Hamas murdered over 1200 Israelis. Now add six to the total murdered.

[rktman]

Yeah that’ll prevent further killing.

[Olog-hai]

A cease-fire so Hamas has free rein to murder more and more captives and others?

Why does Goldberg-Polin’s family want that?

[tflabo]

Let Gaza become the two state dissolution. The Gaza lab experiment is an utter fail.

“The families of American-Israeli hostages in Gaza demanded Sunday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accept a cease-fire deal with Hamas after the deaths of six more captives.”

At this point, it’s OBVIOUS that the Us-Controlled NGOs are pushing these families to attack Netanyahu. The question that I have is whether these NGOs had anything to do with killing the hostages in the first place, since, as we see, it has been VERY CONVENIENT for them, and that their conspiring with the terrorists is a known fact.

In any case, Israel has to RID THEMSELVES of those entities, if they want to retain control of their country.

[silverleaf]

The hostages wont come home if Israel surrenders

It will only prove how useful it is to keep them, to play on Israels respect for their lives

You can’t negotiate with the morlocks

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

The hostages are done for.

Full speed ahead with Hamas.

[antidemoncrat]

So does Hamas want a cease fire deal so they can rearm and launch an even deadlier strike on Israeli citizens? I doubt that Hamas ever had any intentions of returning most of those hostages alive.

[Pox]

This is one of the primary reasons they took hostages in the first place.

Capitulate, and your demise will follow.

[PIF]

What part of Hamas refusing any deal do they not understand?

[McGruff]

Hamas is your enemy not Netanyahu.
